Definitions

  • This invention pertains to ventilators, and in particular, to a ventilator including an integrated blower to provide negative or positive pressure in a ventilator system.
  • Ventilators are used in a variety of settings. For example, in a hospital a patient may be ventilated as part of their medical care. In particular, ventilators are commonly provided in hospital intensive care units (ICUs).
  • ICUs hospital intensive care units
  • a high-end ventilator may include an integrated system implementation.
  • a ventilator system can include other patient care modalities like secretion management and high frequency ventilation etc. These modalities require both positive pressure and negative pressure in the system for effective implementation.
  • HFPPV high frequency positive pressure ventilation
  • positive pressure is generated from the high pressure, compressed, gas source and negative pressure is generated by a venturi system implementation.
  • the mean airway pressure depends on the peak-to-peak amplitude of the positive pressure pulses. For higher frequencies or for higher amplitudes, the MAP may be too high for the patient. MAP can only be lowered by applying negative pressure during exhalation. This negative pressure may be generated by a venturi effect from the positive pressure side of the system.
  • a venturi system is very noisy and it has a relatively slow response.
  • a ventilator system needs to deliver insufflation (positive pressure) and exsufflation (negative pressure) to simulate a cough.
  • a blower can additionally augment and/or provide higher flows of gas that may be needed for such ventilation therapy.
  • the gas supplied from individual gas outlets in the hospitals may be limited to -180 liters per minute (1pm) and is adequate for the most invasive mechanical ventilation needs.
  • the ventilator should be able to generate much higher flows - on the order of 250 to 300 liters/minute (1pm) to compensate for mask leaks.
  • a ventilator system comprises: an inspiration port configured to be connected to an inspiratory limb of a dual-limb patient circuit, and an expiration port configured to be connected to an expiratory limb of the dual- limb patient circuit; a gas delivery device operatively connected to the inspiration port and configured to supply a pressurized flow of gas to the inspiration port to generate positive pressure; and a blower having an inlet that is operatively connected to the expiration port and configured to be controlled to selectively supply a negative pressure level between 4 and 120 cmH 2 0 to the expiratory limb, and further having an outlet configured to exhaust gas received via the expiration port.
  • a method of ventilation comprises: providing an inspiration port configured to be connected to an inspiration limb of a dual-limb patient circuit, and providing an expiration port configured to be connected to an expiratory limb of the dual-limb patient circuit; supplying a pressurized flow of gas to the inspiration port to generate positive pressure; and selectively connecting an inlet of a blower to the expiration port to selectively supply a negative pressure level between 4 and 120 cmH 2 0 to the expiration port and to exhaust from an outlet of the blower gas received from the expiration port.
  • a ventilator system comprises: a patient circuit interface port configured to be connected to a single-limb patient circuit; a gas delivery device operatively connected to the patient circuit interface port and configured to supply a pressurized flow of gas to the patient circuit interface port to generate positive pressure; a blower having an outlet operatively connected to the patient circuit interface port and configured to supply a pressurized flow of air to the patient circuit interface port to generate positive pressure; a pressure transducer configured to measure a patient airway pressure; at least one flow sensor configured to measure a gas flow in the patient circuit; and a controller configured to control the gas delivery device and the blower in response to a pressure transducer signal indicating the measured pressure in the patient circuit and a flow sensor signal indicating the measured gas flow from the gas delivery device.

  • FIG. 3C is a detailed illustration of the controller 350 of FIG. 3A.
  • Controller 350 receives a measured patient airway pressure signal, for example from pressure transducer 315, and supplies output signals for controlling blower 330, exhalation valve 340, and two- way valve 360.
  • controller 350 provides the output signals for controlling blower 330 and exhalation valve 340 to provide the target exsufflation pressure and pressure during exhalation phase.
  • FIG. 4 is a detailed illustration of a third example embodiment of a ventilator system where an integrated blower may be used to generate positive pressure/flow to augment gas flow for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) where there may be limited flow of gas from a wall-outlet or compressor, or limited gas flow through flow valves and/or regulators of the gas supply device of the ventilator system.
  • NMV noninvasive ventilation
  • Ventilator system 400 comprises a ventilator 405 with an integrated blower 430, and a single-limb patient circuit 410.
  • Ventilator 405 includes: a gas delivery device including a pressurized flow of gas 420 and one or more flow control valves 422 for oxygen and air; one or more air and oxygen flow sensors 424; a pressure relief valve 426; a pressure transducer 428; a blower 430 and an associated one-way check valve 436; and a controller 450.
  • Ventilator 405 includes a patient circuit interface port 442 for connection to patient circuit 410.
  • Ventilator 405 also includes a junction 407 for combining a pressurized flow of gas (e.g., oxygen and/or air) from the gas delivery device, and a pressurized flow of air from blower 430 to generate positive pressure.
  • a pressurized flow of gas e.g., oxygen and/or air
  • Patient circuit 410 connects to a mask 20 for providing a pressurized flow of gas to patient 10.
  • Mask 20 may include a passive exhalation port or an active exhalation port.
  • the pressurized flow of gas 420 is received from an external supply (e.g., a tank), for example through a wall outlet.
  • an external supply e.g., a tank
  • controller 450 controls the gas delivery device (e.g., flow control valve(s) 422), blower 430, and pressure relief valve 426 in response to a patient airway pressure signal from pressure transducer 428 indicating the measured patient airway pressure, and a flow sensor signal from the one or more air and/or oxygen flow sensors 424 indicating the measured gas flow from the gas delivery device.
  • Blower 430 supplements the flow supplied via the pressurized flow of gas 420, which is some cases may be limited, for example when ventilator 405 is connected to gas supply via a wall outlet. In that case, in some cases the gas flow from the pressurized flow of gas 420 may be limited to about 180 liters/minute.
  • ventilator 405 is capable of providing a gas flow rate on the order of 250 to 300 liters/minute.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système d'insufflateur (100/200/300/400) qui comprend une soufflerie intégrée (130/230/330). Selon un cas, le système d'insufflateur comprend : un conduit d'aspiration (122/222/322) destiné à être raccordé à une branche d'aspiration (112/212/312) d'un circuit de patient à double branche (110/210/310), et un orifice d'expiration (142/242/342) destiné à être relié à une branche d'expiration (114/214/314) du circuit de patient à double branche ; un dispositif débiteur de gaz (120/220/320) relié à l'orifice d'aspiration pour fournir un flux de gaz sous pression à l'orifice d'inspiration pour produire une pression positive ; et une soufflerie ayant une entrée (132/232/332) qui est raccordée fonctionnellement à l'orifice d'expiration et qui est conçue pour être commandée pour fournir sélectivement un niveau de pression négative entre 4 et 120 cmH2O à l'orifice d'expiration, et une sortie (134/234/334) au gaz rejeté reçu en provenance de l'orifice d'expiration. Selon un autre cas, le système d'insufflateur comprend une soufflerie servant à engendrer une pression/un écoulement à pression positive pour renforcer le flux pour une insufflation non invasive.
